I checked out the stories, spankedboy. I like the Vidya character a lot.

prettynun2010, the problem with what you are saying is that the idea of black man / white woman is just so much hotter. Sure, it's been beaten to death, but I think rather than abandoning it, we need to just think of new and better ways to tell the story. I'm working on one, we'll see how it goes.

Any story is boring that doesn't have a fresh, interesting plotline. Any white couple + black guy story that has a fresh, interesting plotline isn't boring. It isn't either the color or the mix of the characters that make a story boring--it's the boring plotline.
